ab91528 staining mH2A1 in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab91528 at 1µg/ml and ab6046, Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150117, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150080, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour magenta). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). Also suitable in cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min).Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-mH2A1 antibody [14G7] (AB91528)
Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab91528 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab91528, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.

ChIP - Anti-mH2A1 antibody [14G7] (AB91528)
Chromatin was prepared from SK-OV-3 cells according to the Abcam Dual-X-ChIP protocol*. Cells were fixed with 1.5 mM EGS for 30mins and then formaldehyde for 10min.
The ChIP was performed with 25 µg of chromatin, 5 µg of ab91528 (red), or 5 µg of mouse normal IgG1 ab18443 (gray) and 25 µl of Protein A/G Dyna beads. The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active and inactive loci, Sybr green approach for heterochromatic loci).

Western blot - Anti-mH2A1 antibody [14G7] (AB91528)
Lane 1 : Wild-type HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 2 : mH2A1 knockout HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 3 : HeLa whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 4 : HepG2 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab91528 observed at 40 kDa. Red - loading control, ab176560, observed at 50 kDa.
ab91528 was shown to specifically recognize mH2A1 in wild-type HAP1 cells. No band was observed when mH2A1 knockout cells were examined. Wild-type and mH2A1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab91528 and ab176560 (Rabbit anti-alpha Tubulin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 10 μg/ml and 1/10,000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216772) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216777) secondary antibodies at 1/10,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Biological function summary
MH2A1 plays significant roles in chromatin remodeling and gene expression regulation. It is part of the nucleosome replacing canonical histone H2A and influencing the accessibility of chromatin to transcriptional machinery. Through this function mH2A1 can repress or activate gene expression depending on cellular context and interacting partners. Its incorporation into chromatin is associated with the silencing of certain genomic regions such as inactive X chromosome in females with potential implications for epigenetic modifications and cellular differentiation.
Pathways
MH2A1 is notably involved in pathways regulating chromatin organization and cell differentiation. It plays a role in the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) pathway affecting histone methylation and gene silencing. Furthermore mH2A1 interacts with proteins like EZH2 in PRC2 which carry out methylation at histone H3 on lysine 27. These interactions highlight mH2A1's involvement in maintaining repressive chromatin states and controlling gene expression patterns important for normal cell function.
